You don't know of any factual inaccuracies in Moore's work. He has a point of view that you don't like but that doesn't make his work inaccurate.

This is the entire problem with the right-wing. It doesn't look to make a skewed but reasonable argument based on facts, it ignores all facts and simply makes things up from whole cloth. This no longer flies.

Anything that Kerry does in Iraq is an improvement over what Bush is doing: nothing. Bush broke Iraq and he is personally responsible and should be personally liable for his actions against that country.

These are the arguments that are gaining strength in Iraq and around the world. It's both astonishing and pathetic that the incompetent prosecution of this war has led to these absurd but extremely realistic conclusions:

1. US is the occupier and insurgents are now called the resistance.

2. The majority of Iraqis believe that they would be safer and better off if the US left asap.

3. It's time now for a strongman a la Saddam Hussein since the US can't do anything useful.

4. The majority of Americans believe that Iraqi is not worth the lives or the treasure.

The US is coming to the viewpoint that the rest of the world held BEFORE the war. This is a war of aggression, arrogance and oil prosecuted by the belligerent (and now the proven incompetent) and greedy... nothing more.

Bush had two chances to get Iraq right:
1. Use diplomacy to get the world on his side
2. Do what he promised he would do in Iraq

Bush decided that #1 wasn't what he needed and #2 is now a distant and confused memory.
